16 cents/word sounds pretty awesome if the other markets you know are SFF. If only that’s what they were offering!
Except, you know,
200 words/post
x 5 posts/weekday
x 20 weekdays/month
= 20,000 words/month,

so it’s actually 2.5 cents/word.
Which SFWA wouldn’t regard as a pro market.

But then, this way you do get your bloggers’ press pass, with free admission to the Olympics and other athletic contests.
Wait, you don’t?

I think innumeracy among liberal arts majors may be the problem. The pay for this gig ranges between 2.08 cents per word and 6.25 cents per word with an average of 3.125 cents per word.
